Got any tricks for tweaking enemy AI so the matches feel more intense and less predictable? I thrive on that edge‑of-your-seat pressure.

Sure, focus on a few things: give the AI a mix of deterministic and stochastic decisions, so it can still surprise you; use a threat assessment grid that changes as the match progresses, making it adapt to your style; add small random delays in its actions to mimic human reaction time, so you can’t just lock it down; and finally, throw in a few “panic” states that kick in when its health is low—makes it feel desperate and unpredictable. Mix those up, tweak the weights, and you’ll get a more tense, less formulaic game.

Nice, that’ll keep them on their toes. Just remember, if you over‑tune those panic states the AI might start acting like a diva—blows a tantrum every time it drops below 20%. Keep the balance tight, and keep your own timing tight too. That’s the key to a true win.
